The evad3rs have surprised the jailbreak community by releasing an all new version of evasi0n, the team’s official hacking tool for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch.

Capable of jailbreaking all iDevice models and all iOS firmwares, evasi0n7 is finally available for download on Mac OS X and Windows computers.

Mac users will need OS X version 10.6 (Snow Leopard), or newer. PC users will need Windows XP (or later). No Linux version is available at the time of this writing.

Windows users will further require iTunes (if they don’t have it installed). All users will need to use the USB cable supplied by Apple to connect the device to the computer.

(Jailbreaking is not a practice that Apple condones, but if you're going to do it anyway, at least ensure you're doing it properly. Note that these instructions are solely for informational purposes.)

How to Jailbreak iOS 7.0.x on iPhone / iPad / iPod touch

5. Make sure to close all other programs on your computer. In the evasi0n interface, hit the Jailbreak button. Wait for the process to complete and your device to reboot.

Congratulations! You should now be jailbroken.

A final note from the evad3rs: “If the process gets stuck somewhere, it's safe to restart the program, reboot the device (if necessary by holding down Power and Home until it shuts down), and rerun the process.”

The team also says that OS X users may get an error saying that evasi0n can't be opened. If so, simply control-click (right-click) the program and choose Open.
